Just because everyone else is doing it:

I took that online IQ test thingy that is going around.



It was pretty easy. I mean, if I HAVE to report my IQ to people, I usually tell people it's around 125 to 130. Because that's what it is on some tests. The tests where I come out in the 150s or 160s are usually pretty bogus. And, anyway, I haven't had a REAL IQ test since I was 16 or so, and that was testing for learning disabilities.

Which I have. I just tend to test really well on the IQ portion of these sorts of things.

ETA: Ah -- I see. This is a clever, if mean, ploy. Nice.

As more people view it, the number gets lower. Clever, and evil.

Aha, I knew there was a trick to it, makes more sense of other people's comments, thanks for that!

Edited To Add. Took me a while to get that, too, and now that I know it doesn't mean "Estimated Time of Arrival" I've taken to using it myself.

"Edited to add".

Means that it wasn't part of the post originally, but I edited it to add that extra information, later.

Kind of like "PS".

I'm not sure if it's down to how many people view it, or, simply, that anyone not from the IP that took the tests sees about half the original value.

my mates are reporting that effect, anyhoo.

though frankly, I admire it more if it drops according to hits ;)
